14.2: Distinguished Student Paper: Low‐voltage and High‐transmittance Blue Phase Liquid Crystal Displays

We develop a refraction model to analyze the electro-optics of an in-plane-switching blue phase liquid crystal (IPS-BPLC) cell. Good agreement with experiment is obtained. By optimizing the BPLC material and device structure, our simulation shows that a single-gamma IPS-BPLC with operation voltage 80% can be achieved.
